Percy

I was walking back in an extremely dark place, with a terrible smell that lingered. I immediately recognized it as Tartarus. I kept walking around, until I heard a soft thud.

I turned to see a blonde girl who had fallen over beside me. She was in tattered clothes and had blood all over here.

"Annabeth!" I exclaimed running to check on her. I checked her pulse to see that she was still breathing but unconscious.

"Shit," I muttered under my breath.

I picked her bridal style using what energy I could muster. We had been down here for a week I think.

We were closing in on the Doors, I had a feeling in my gut.

I kept walking, barely carrying Annabeth for a couple of more hours. I felt vulnerable, if we were to be attacked I don't know if I would be able to protect us both. I would have to do my best no matter what.

After walking for another hour or so, I heard a rumbling noise coming from all around me and figures I could somewhat make out in this dark place.. I was getting really worried now.

As they got closer, I looked completely around me to see a monster army completely surrounding me.

"Damn it, now of all times."

I propped Annabeth so she was on her feet, but leaning on my left side. I pulled out my trusty sword, Riptide preparing to defend Annabeth and I.

I waited for them to attack, ready to defend Annabeth and I.

Then I saw a parting between the monsters in front of me and a tall bright orange figure stepped closer to me.

"Well, well, well, Perseus we meet again."

"What do you want Hyperion?"

"Well revenge of course! You turned me into a tree!"

"By the way how was being a tree? I think you were much better giving off oxygen in Central Park, don't you think so?"

"You shall pay for that Perssus Jackson!"

"And what makes you think you will be able to do such a thing?"

He growled at me and if looks could kill, I would've been dead.

"My eye sight must be wrong, but do correct me if I'm wrong. You are weak boy, carrying that pathetic daughter of Athena. You have no strength left and surround by a monster army and a titan."

"I've defeated hordes of monsters before and I have defeated you before." I raised Riptide into a defensive stance.

"Listen here Jackson, I feel some pity for you, come peacefully and I'll spare the girl."

I looked at Annabeth, I wanted to do whatever was best for her safety. Even if that means dying for her.

"What exactly does this 'sparing' entitle?" I asked lowering my sword.

"Ah I was not expecting you to consider. We'll not harm her, you're the one I want."

"What will you do with her, you say you're not going to harm her, but what will happen to her?"

"She will be kept in a cell unharmed."

"Before I come with you, I want you to swear on the Styx." I looked at him dead in the eye waiting for his answer. I didn't know if I could trust him on his word about keeping Annabeth safe.

He stood there for several minutes contemplating what he should do. I was getting more nervous by the second, gripping Riptide harder causing my knuckles to turn white.

He finally answered. "I swear on the Styx that Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena will not be harmed. Only if Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon surrenders now."

"Fine," I said capping Riptide.

"Bind him and the girl, but do not harm her," ordered Hyperion to some cyclopes.

When the cyclopes got closer, one of them hit me on the side of my head causing my vision to go all blurry. Before sinking into darkness I saw them bind me and Annabeth in Celestial Bronze chains. They lifted Annabeth before my vision faded and went completely black.

I woke back up chained to a chair. There was only one light in the room and it was a spot light on me.

I looked all around me trying to figure out where I was. Then all the recent events rushed into my head. I struggled against the chains, trying to break free.

"Looks like princess here is finally awake," said Hyperion walking into view of the light.

"Hyperion," I retorted growling.

"Well shall we begin the fun?" He asked with excitement. This gave me a queasy feeling. Seeing a titan who hates you in excitement just didn't make me feel all to happy.

"Where is Annabeth," I demanded.

"As promised, not a single hair on her head has been touched. Although I do regret swearing that oath. She is quite the blonde if I do say." He said grinning.

"You better not have done anything to her!" I snapped.

"Don't worry. Anyways lets get back to our fun." He pulled a cart into the light.

I saw an assortment of tools on it. Realization dawned upon me, he was going to torture me.

"Ah I'm glad you know what is going to happen."

He picked up a long knife and walked behind me. I felt a painful sensation. He slashed from my left shoulder to my right back hip. He started to slash me some more before he walked back to the cart.

This time, he picked up a smaller knife, however a green goo dripped from it. He took this knife and stabbed me in my lower right back just a few inches from where my 'Achilles Hell' was. That spot exploded into pain I had never felt before.

I was in unbearable pain, blood and some liquid I have never seen started to seep out of the wound. I was losing consciousness,Hyperion only laughed in glee towards my pain.

"Ah Perseus, I'm sure you wondering what was on that knife. Well thank Kampe for that. She would love to be here, but you should be happy she couldn't. Though she did give me some of her new poison she made, which I gladly dipped all my toys into."

He continued his torture. Carving my back up with his large variety of sharp objects. He didn't just wreck havoc on my back, he took a knife and stuck it into my shoulder and ran it all the way down to my right hand.

My screams of pain would only make him happier than before. He would break my bones.

He did this each day, for a whole week. It was the ultimate torture plan. He would break me physically and mentally when he carved my body up and broke my bones, only to be fed so much nectar and ambrosia that I would be healed up, but felt a burning sensation inside of me.

I wanted to die, but I know I couldn't. I needed to get out of here with Annabeth and seal the Doors. My friends would probably almost be there by now.

Exactly one week from when he captured me, Hyperion came in looking annoyed.

"Look like its your lucky day Jackson. Gaia needs your blood to be awaken so you are being set free. She wants you to feel hope for being free, but she will defeat you and the gods."

I raised my head as much as I could to look at him to see if her was lying or not.

"What a shame, my play toy will be set free. I'll be waiting for when you lose this war, so then we can continue our sessions." I shuttered at his words.

"I was hoping to have some fun with that daughter of Athena when you finally broke and there was no fun in torturing you anymore. I guess I'll just have to wait."

I spit in his face at his remark. "Still rude as ever, I'll have to fix that when we meet again." He punched across.

He unchained me from the chair and dragged me through a bunch of hallways. We came in front of a cell and he opened it. I saw Annabeth and Hyperion was true to his word, she looked fine. I was so happy to see her after not seeing her for a week. He told a couple of empousai standing guard to grab Annabeth and follow him. We walked for a couple minutes before exiting a structure and walking for another couple of minutes.

Hyperion threw me a couple of feet in front of him before ordering the empousai to do the same. After seeing Annabeth's limp form land a little way from me rolling towards me, I lost consciousness.

I woke up sweating heavily, my whole shirt was wet. I looked around me to see I was in my bunk.

I hadn't had a nightmare since aboard Argo 2. Annabeth and I were helping each other ever since we got back to camp get over the nightmares. Hypnos even did the best he could to reduce the nightmares which helped a great deal.

Now why was I having one now all of the sudden? I couldn't thinks straight so I decided to get out of bed and take a quick rinse to clear my mind and refresh myself.

I got to the showers and took of my damp shirt. I walked in front of a mirror and turned around so my back was facing it. I inspected my scars running all over my back and arms. I was at least thankful he did almost all of his torturing on my back. It was easy to hide from others, especially Annabeth. I didn't want her to worry. The ones on my arms however, I just told her that went she lost consciousness monsters had attacked and I fought them, but did not come out untouched.

I ran my fingers across each scar making me shiver. Remembering what I came here for, I quickly turned on the bath and went into and sat under water. I didn't want to think of Tartarus anymore.

I don't know how long I sat underwater before remembering I needed get back to bed. It would be suspicious if people woke up to find me missing from my bunk.

I quickly got dressed not needing to dry myself, thanking my father for his awesome powers.

Harry

I jolted up sitting straight in my bed from the nightmare I had just seen. It couldn't be true could it?

I had just seen Percy in some dark place getting tortured. Who was that fiery guy? Who was the blonde girl? Percy never mentioned her before.

I was disgusted at the way he was being treated. To be brought to the brink of death only to be healed by a weird golden cube and liquid.

I had witnessed everything off to side as if they couldn't see me, It reminded me of the Pensieve.

This all had to be fake, right? I mean no ne of this stuff made sense at all.

I heard the door opening up and I quickly lied back down on my bed. I saw who it was, it was Percy coming back into the room before climbing back into his bed.

Where was he? What was he doing out so late in the night?

I had so much on my mind, but deciding to go back to sleep to think about my nightmare in morning would be better. Maybe even share it with Ginny or Hermione and see what they think.

~~Line Break~~

I wake up to the sun shining on my face. I notice Percy already gone and Ron snoring. Neville was just getting up. (AN: Only these four share a room)

He and Percy were on somewhat better terms, but Neville still dislikes Percy. They never got to sort their problems. Ron still suspects Percy for being a Death Eater and is always trying to convince us.

I turn my attention back to Neville, "Morning mate."

"Morning Harry. Sleep well?

"I've had better. You?"

"It was ok."

"When are you going to sort your problems with Percy. I try to tell you that he and Luna doesn't have anything going on between them."

"Bloody hell, not this again. Listen when the time comes, it comes." He leaves the room probably heading to the bathroom. He has been my friend since our first year, but he doesn't hang out with us because we are usually with Percy.

After Neville leaves, I think about the nightmare I had last night. Was it real? And why Percy was coming back to the room so late?

If it was real, I'm in awe how someone can withstand that painful torturing. I don't know what is worse, being tortured to the brink of death and then healed to repeat the process or for a dementor to suck away all your happiness.

I get out bed and get ready for the day.

~~1 Hour Later~~

Ron was still sleeping so I decide to think in the common room. It was still early and we had no classes today.

I hear footsteps coming from the stairs and turn around to see Ginny and Hermione coming down the stairs.

Hermione and Percy have been awfully close lately at times, maybe she knows something about the nightmare I had.

"Hey Gin, Mione."

"Hi Harry," they both say in return.

"Can I tell you guys something, but you need to keep it a secret."

Worry filling Ginny's face, "Don't worry Ginny it has nothing to do with me."

She relaxes slightly, still wondering what I'm going to tell them.

"But… it is about Percy…"

Hermione instantly stiffens and Ginny is worried again. Were they hiding something? I needed to find out.

"What do you want to tell us Harry?" asks Ginny.

"Well last night I had this nightmare-" starting to tell them the nightmare I witnessed.

"- and I've been thinking about this the whole morning."

I look at Hermione to see her frowning, deep in thought with a look as if she had heard his before. I turn to see Ginny with a similar expression.

"So what do you guys think about this? Was it real?"

"No, I think I was just a nightmare. It was just your imagination. Don't worry about it too much Harry," replies Hermione.

"Well, what if it was something that actually happened. He must be in some kind of pain or something."

"Harry just stop worrying about it!" snaps Hermione tears coming out of her eyes.

"Hermi-" She storms off back up to the girl dormitories.

"What was that all about?" hoping Ginny would give me an answer.

"Nothing Harry, just don't mention this to anyone. I'm going to go check on her and see if she is ok." With that she gets up and walks to the girls' dormitories.

I was left dumbfounded at the two girls' reactions. What was all that about? What was bothering Hermione? Did Ginny know what was wrong? I needed answers.

I decided Professor Dumbledore would know something about this. He been acting a lot more secretly lately.

On my way to Professor Dumbledore's office I run into a blonde hair girl with silver eyes.

"Sorry Luna, I wasn't paying attention."

"What seems to be the matter Harry?"

"Oh, its nothing Luna, anyways where are you going?"

"I was looking for Percy, you wouldn't happen to see him now would you?"

"Uh Percy? I didn't see him this morning. When I woke up, he was already gone."

"Thanks Harry," I watched her start skipping off probably to go find Percy. I wonder what she wanted with him. I hope she didn't like him, otherwise I would feel bad about Neville.

Shaking my head clear of such thoughts, I continue my walk to Dumbledore's office.

I reach the statue blocking his office and say the password before it starts to open.

Silently, I walk up the stairs but before I knock on the door I hear some voices.

"- don't care. I came here to protect Harry and I'll do anything I can to do that." Said one voice.

"I understand, but you need to lay low. After your stunt last week people have started to get suspicious. Just lay low." Calmly replied another voice.

"Fine," hearing a faint sigh come right after it.

"Severus have you swore on the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa already?"

"Yes, she and Bellatrix trust me now."

Narcissa? Bellatrix? What does Severus have to do with them? I leaned in closer to get a better hearing.

"No, that will not be enough, I have a risky plan. You and-" Bang

Shit, I banged my foot on the door right when they are discussing something very important.

"Who's there?"

"Severus go check."

Footsteps could be heard, I knew I had to get out of here quick. I bolted down the stairs and away from the staircase.

I just ran and ran until I got to the Gryffindor Tower. I quickly said the password panting.

"Bloody hell Harry. You look like you were running for you life. What's the matter?" comes the voice of my best friend.

"Oh hey Ron, you're awake. I'll tell you later."

"Hey Harry! Oi why are you so sweaty?"

"I'll explain later Ginny. Right now, I'm going to take a shower and I'll meet you guys at breakfast."

She just nods my head and goes over to where Ron and Lavender were.

~~Line Break~~

I walk into the dinning hall and quickly spot Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Lavender, and Neville sitting together. I walk over to them.

"Hey Hermione can I speak to you for a moment?"

"Sure Harry."

We walk back to the entrance of the dinning hall.

"Listen, about this mor-"

"Its ok Harry, don't worry about it." She gives me a quick hug and we walk back to the Gryffindor Table.

"So Harry, you going to tell us why you came back panting and sweating profusely?" asked Ginny getting straight to the point.

"Well I was on my way to speak to Dumbledore in his office, but right before I was going to knock on his door I heard voices talking."

"Do you know whos voices they were?" asked Lavender.

"Well I know it was Professor Snape and Professore Dumbledore. The last voice I couldn't exactly tell."

"What were they talking about?" asked Hermione.

"Something about swearing an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa and something about her and Bellatrix trust him now. Also before that the voice I couldn't recognize said something about coming here to protect me. Do you guys know anything about that?"

I looked at everyone and they nodded their heads no, but I swear Ginny and Hermione were hiding something.

"Why would Professor Dumbledore be asking Professor Snape about swearing an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa? Isn't that Draco's mother?" Hermione asked curiously.

"See! Snape is a Death Eater! He and Dumbledore probably have a plan or something, but Snape is going to double cross him!" exclaimed Ron.

"Ronald, I highly thought that." Replied Hermione.

"Don't you guys see it!" he said looking at all of us.

"Ron, honey, not so loud. We don't want people to hear us." Said Lavender trying to calm down Ron.

"Sorry," he grumbled.

"I think Ron is right, actually." Piped Neville.

"See, Neville understands me!"

"Well Harry, you said the last voice said something coming here to protect you, right? That has to be Percy, but he's probably a Death Eater also like Professor Snape. I mean we all know Snape is a Death Eater right? Maybe he needed back up or something so they sent a new, young recruit to blend in as a student. He did come here out of nowhere." Neville said explaining his theory.

"I don't think that's the reason why Percy is here." Retorted Hermione.

"I don't know Hermione, seems pretty suspicious to me."

"Whatever Neville."

"Well I think we should be cautious with what we say around Percy. I mean if he is right than we have a Death Eater with us," I stated.

"I don't think you guys are being fair to him. He's just a transfer student from America." With that final comment Hermione got up and left.

"What's her problem?" asked Ron.

"Just shut up Ron," sighed Ginny.

Hermione

Bloody hell, who do they think they are. They barely know him. But do I really know him that well myself? I hadn't seen him for eight years and he just randomly pops up in a seemingly convenient time. Was he the same carefree boy that I had known? Was he the boy that always protected me when we were younger? Was he the one I was able to share all my secrets with? Was he the boy that could always make me happy? Was he the Percy Jackson I knew? My mind was in turmoil just because of one boy. Lost in my thoughts I bump into something hard and fall down.

"Sorry," says a masculine voice and a hand comes into view.

"Sorry you should've wat-" I look up and see its Percy.

"I should've what Mione?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Never mind, where have you been this whole morning?"

"Uh… I was talking a walk outside." He sounded unsure, more as if he was asking than stating.

"Percy, don't lie to me."

"Hermione, I'm not lying to you I was just busy ok?"

I was getting annoyed now, "Its not ok Percy, Ron and Neville think you're a Death Eater and have been lying on why you came here. I defended you and said you weren't, but if you're going to lie to me then I don't know if I can trust you. Just tell me what you were doing."

"Hermione just listen, I wish I could tell you, but I can't. I wouldn't lie to you know that. I'm sorry Mione."

"I'm sorry too Percy," I said before walking past him.

"Hermione wait!" This just caused me to walk faster. I started to run to the Gryffindor Tower and up to my room. I just laid down on my bed and started crying into my pillow, until I cried myself to sleep.

Percy

Gods damn it! Only if I was able to tell her. I knew I couldn't, its not that I trusted her. Dumbledore trusted me with very important information and not to tell ANYONE. I couldn't just go behind his back and do it.

I was frustrated so I stormed off to the Black Lake. Maybe a swim or just sitting at the bottom of it will help clear my mind. I ignored all the looks everyone was giving me.

The Black Lake came into view and I just ran towards it and jumped right in sinking to the bottom. All the sea creatures that past me were astonished to see me. They kept calling me lord and all that mumbo jumbo.

I sat at the bottom of the lake thinking on past events. I don't know for how gods long I was under there before I decided to go back to the castle and see if I could apologize to Hermione.

I was nearing the surface of the lake until I saw someone standing there talking. I didn't see anyone else around said person.

"- I don't know if I can do it anymore. I'm pretty nervous, father would want me to do it, but I'm not so sure I can do it. I don't know what mother thinks, I think she just wants me to be safe. Father is in Azkaban now and all Bellatrix is boss me arou-"

Deciding I heard enough I emerge from the water, starting a certain boy.

AN: So I just wanted to say I got a complaint the other day about how unfair and wrong I was being to Slytherian and I'm doing this because I support Gryffindor. That is untrue, I don't favor one house over another, I would say I like them equally. I only wrote the last chapter the way it was for the story. I used Slytherian because usually the bad people are from that house. So I'm sorry if I offended any Slytherians out there.

Cool writer101: Probably, but its just for the plot.

TheFallenAce: Thanks! And you should try to. You never know what will happen if you don't try to write one.

FallenOneAka X or Mr. X: No he can't I'm sorry if you were hoping that he could. I feel like that would make him over powered in a way. I never really felt that him "breaking down" his body into water molecules or so to say would actually work or make sense.

Suzululu4moe: I know right and true, puberty does change appearances. Also, yes puberty has done him well. Your view of Ginny is very interesting….. and yes I agree probably was the puberty and the attacks each year. Though I feel that it may have started when he saved her but she just never showed any feelings towards him. Plus I forgot which book it is but I'm pretty sure Fred and George say she wouldn't stop talking about him. Also your suggestion for the story is interesting. And yes they are both dead, I'll try to implement that more into the story. I think Percy and Hermione would make a good couple besides that reason. The sacrificing food part I totally forgot about so I figure someway to add that.

Peace
